The internet sure forces leftists to be accountable for their speach.

Babelfish looks broken. For good measure, I took the translated French, and translated it back into French, then into English again. Perhaps this is more understandable:

After the pled comparison of Hitler of the federal secretary of justice Herta Daeubler Gmelin turned the federal chancellor Gerhard Schroeder (two SPD) personally in a letter to the President George W Bush of the USA "I would like to ensure you that with my table of box nobody has the place, which brings the American president with a criminal in connection", Schroeder subjected to a constraint in the letter, who was present the agency of pressure AFP Friday. She regrets it much that the bush by the comparison pled with Adolf Hitler "deeply wounded" is. Daeubler Gmelin ensured that it did not make him allotted expressions, defended the chancellor his minister of law.

Like I said, she's toast. Schroeder can't fire her immediately because the election is only 36 hours away. But with Daubler-Gmelin still in office (and everyone knows she is lying), it's like an albatross hanging on his neck.

His semi-conservative challenger, Bavarian governor Edmund Stoiber, also put his foot in his mouth yesterday but less seriously. His party had been trailing in the polls but now they are back in the race.

In related news, German media are reporting an "unprecedented" firestorm of e-mail anger from the United States, with Americans swearing to boycott German products and using colorful language to share their feelings.

She got FREEPED but good :-) :-)

I'd prefer Heinrich Schnibble's translations to BabelFish's efforts.

Remember Herr Schnibble's old Sat. Eve. Post humor item with the wacko faux-German prose?
It's preserved chiefly in mock-German orders on decals.."Nicht poken sie fingeren...!"

I worked for a Swiss company for about ten years, so while I don't actually speak German, I am sorta familiar with the syntax.

Hamburg (dpa) - which editor-in-chief of the "Swabian day sheet", Christoph Mueller, has Federal Secretary of Justice Herta Daeubler Gmelin of the lie accused.

Editor-in-chief Christoph Mueller, of the "Swabian Day Sheet", has accused Secretary of Justice Herta Daeubler Gmelin of LYING.

After its appearance before the federal press conference he said to the "world on Sunday", it never humans lying thus saw like Herta Daeubler Gmelin.

Mueller says he never saw another human LIE like Herta Daeubler Gmelin did at the federal press conference. (I am assuming "World on Sunday" is either another publication or a TV show)

Die minister had before denied the Iraq politics of US president George W. Bush with methods of the Nazis to have compared.The minster (Daeubler Gmelin) had earlier denied comparing Bush's Iraq policy with the methods of the Nazis.

Second paragraph's a little harder to make sense of, but here goes:

After the alleged Hitler comparison of Federal Secretary of Justice Herta Daeubler Gmelin turned Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder (both SPD) personally in a letter at US president George W. Bush.

After the alleged Hitler comparison by Federal Secretary of Justice Gmelin, Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder [contradicted or decried it, or withdrew his previous support] personally in a letter to US PREsident George W Bush.

"I would like to insure you that at my cabinet table nobody has place, which brings the American president with a criminal in connection", stressed Schroeder in the letter, which was present the press agency AFP on Friday. It regrets it much that Bush by the alleged comparison with Adolf Hitler "deeply hurt" is.

"I would like to assure you that nobody has a place at my cabinet table, who would compare the American President to a criminal," stressed Schroeder in the letter, which was presented to to press agency AFP on Friday. He expressed regret that Bush had been "deeply hurt" by the alleged comparison to Adolf Hitler.

Daeubler Gmelin has it insured that she did not make it attributed expressions, defended the chancellor its law minister.

BUT Daeubler Gmelin has assured him that she did not make the statements attributed to her, said the chancellor in defense of his minister.

So I'd say he's still standing by his minister. And that sure doesn't Herta to hear. :D

Naturally, someone who actually spoke German could probably do even better with the original text, but I spent many years struggling to make heads or tails out of the strange faxes in English that came in from the Zurich office every day. If I didn't get an angry phone call by the afternoon, I knew I had translated their English pretty successfully.

[Man of the Right]

Germany's esteemed Justice Minister Herta Daubler-Gmelin was born in Bratislava, Slovakia on August 12, 1943 to Hans Gmelin, later Mayor of Tubingen, Germany from 1954-1974. He died in July, 1991.

From 1939-45, Slovakia was a German satellite. In 1941 the Nazis and their Slovak quislings adopted a Jewish code. The next year, they shipped 68,000 of Slovakia’s 130,000 Jews to the death camps. The Slovak German minority, lead by the Nazi Franz Karmasin, worked hand-in-glove with the Slovak Populist Party, the local fascist party, and the Slovak storm trooper organization, the Hlinka Guards.

In 1942 & 1943 George H.W. Bush was fighting the Axis.

It might be instructive to ask Frau Dauber-Gmelin what Herr Gmelin, a German, was doing in Slovakia, an occupied country, during 1942 & 1943? Clearly, he wasn’t being executed by the Nazis. And he wasn’t serving with Eisenhower.

It's well past time the U.S. tells its wimpy far left "allies" to take a long walk on a short pier. No apology from GearHard will do. We want the bitch fired.

[McGavin999]

Yeah, well, why don't they tell the German people that Schroeder's so called letter of apology was more insulting than the insult. US/German relations are DEAD!

[aristeides]

The editor of the German paper is accusing the minister of lying, and is threatening to take her to court.

[Ipberg]

Schroeder deftly played the anti-American trump card to stay in power and distract from a failing economy. It's just what Stalin, Kruschev, and Brehznev did.
